RAK2245 Pi HAT Block Diagram The block diagram of RAK2245 Pi HAT shown as below. Figure 3 | RAK2245 Pi HAT Block Diagram The SX1301 digital baseband chip contains 10 programmable reception paths. Those paths have differentiated levels of programmability and allow different use cases. It is important to understand the differences between those demodulation paths to make the best possible use from the system.
RAK2245 Pi HAT Pin Definition The pin connector of RAK2245 Pi HAT is located at the bottom side. Refer to the diagram and table below for the description and numbering of each pins. Figure 4 | Raspberry Pi Connector Overview Name Description Name...
RAK2245 Pi HAT Name Description Name Description It should be connected to RASPBERRY PI’s SPI_ SPI_M MOSI. This pin is connected to SX1301’s SPI_MOSI internally. It should be connected to RASPBERRY PI’s SPI_MI SPI_MISO. This pin is No Connection connected to SX1301’s SPI_MISO internally.
RAK2245 Pi HAT UART and I2C UART and I2C connections are also included on the pin connector. These connections allow direct access to the GPS module. The 1PPS is connected internally to SX1301. Digital IOs There are two digital IO PINs, which give the user an interface to reset the GPS module or set it into standby mode.
RAK2245 Pi HAT Note: With RF output power level above +15 dBm a minimum distance to a transmitter should be 1 m for avoiding too large input level. Maximum ESD 2.11.2 The table below lists the maximum ESD. Parameter Typical Remarks ESD sensitivity for all Human Body Model according to...
RAK2245 Pi HAT RF Characteristics 2.12 Transmitter RF Characteristics 2.12.1 The RAK2245 Pi HAT has an excellent transmitter performance. It is highly recommended to use an optimized configuration for the power level configuration, which is part of the HAL. This results in a mean RF output power level and current consumption.
RAK2245 Pi HAT Receiver RF Characteristics 2.12.2 We recommended you to use optimized RSSI calibration values which is part of HAL v3.1. For both Radio 1 and 2, the RSSI-offset should be set to -169. The following table gives typical sensitivity level of RAK2245 Pi HAT. Signal Bandwidth/[KHz] Spreading Factor Sensitivity/[dBm]...
RAK2245 Pi HAT Source Codes Here is the open source code link: https://github.com/RAKWireless/RAK2245-RAK831-LoRaGateway-RPi-Raspbian-OS Setup Network Server and Frequencies The default Settings are Bulit-In LoraServer and EU868. If you get the others frequency, you must setup it firstly.
